Bright minds and big ideas filled CRSM during CWSP freshman training week as Abbott volunteers joined students for hands-on workshops. A total of 39 Abbott employees, coordinated by alum Oscar Gonzalez, CRMS ‘17, and Abbott Organization Change Manager Summer Camper, led students through Speed Networking and Shark Tank preparation, giving them a chance to practice professional skills, gain career insights, and showcase their creativity.
Summer Camper shared, “Everyone was very impressed by the professional level of the kids. They seem so bright. It makes you feel good and is inspiring to contribute to programs that help students get to college.”
Oscar Gonzalez added, “CRSM proud and Abbott proud. Being an alum and seeing both a partner and my employer support the students is incredible. I’m hoping to continue this every year.”
As Summer noted, “Teamwork makes the dream work,” a perfect reflection of the collaboration between CRSM students and Abbott volunteers.
